Thermal Transfer Printing
e EasyCoder PD4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock using either direct thermal printing on special heat-sensitive media
or thermal transfer printing using a special ink-coated ribbon.
ermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of receiv
-
ing face materials and gives a durable printout less vulnerable to fat,
chemicals, heat, sunlight etc. than direct thermal printing. Make sure to
select a type of ribbon that matches the type of receiving face material
and to set up the printer accordingly.
e EasyCoder PD4 can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the ink-
coated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in this manual
generally show the ink-coated side facing outward.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
